ABSTRACT:
A modular door comprises a lower door housing defining a cavity adapted to receive a glass panel, and an upper cassette including a housing carrying a track for displaceably mounting the glass panel with respect to the upper housing and a regulator for controlling displacement of the glass panel along the track. The cassette is removable as a unit from the lower door housing to expose the passenger compartment through a large portion of the door opening in the vehicle body. The lower housing is hingedly secured to the vehicle body within the door opening and wholly supports the upper housing of the cassette. Nevertheless, the door unit seals against a weatherseal extending around the periphery of the door opening when the glass panel is displaced to its fully extended position.
